I need a hot tip here!! This is my third XXXS-all with threaded shocsk, etc!!! I cannot build the shocks so they dont squeek or feel a bit less damped by the next day. When I build them, they feel good-dont squeek, can compress all the way-you know everything their supposed to do. AFter they sit for hours, all 4 feel a bit less damped, all squeek. Its crazy-what can I do different-or do I just live with the squeek!!! Thse are brand new shocks this time. Noneshow any sign of leakage and tops are tight!!! HELP!!!

Tufferwilde - When you use a spool, you will have more of a feeling of pulling the car through a corner. In most cases, you'll experience some push upon corner entrance. Then when you give it some juice, hang on for the tow-rope effect. Usually, to compensate for a spool, you use one step softer front spring on the car. But it depends on the rest of your setup and the tires and track you race on. I've driven some spools setups that have quite a bit of steering all around.

Use the plastice outdrives. If you want some insurance, get the Trinity aluminum outdrive savers. You'll have to file a little bit off the bottom of the front shock tower that sits close to the outdrive as it will rub with the savers on there.

Your car may make more noise going through the corner which is usually your belt skipping. Run the belt a little tighter than you do with a diff or oneway.

I'm curious if any of you guys that have been running the xxx-s have switched to the new graphite plus. I have been running my car since they came out. I've converted everything to graphite, threaded shocks, mip axles, etc. But obviously, I've got some slop in things over time.

Is it worth it to just get the whole new car. I really want the new front bumper which I have not been able to find. It sounds like the new rear hub is mostly for carpet, which I do not run on.

hey guys can you help me out here i just bought a xxxsGP from a member that said this car has been ran once on carpet for testing only not raced how is it a sealed drive train has a diff that looks that this in it the car was this way
